The best sandwiches in America
New York Post ^ | January 9, 2017 | By Lauren Rothman

When it comes to snacking, meal times and everything in between, there’s one thing Americans can all agree on: the sandwich is king. Whether these stacked-bread behemoths are served up at the best breakfast restaurants in America, the best BBQ restaurants in America or are some of the secret menu items across America, we can’t get enough bacon-egg-and-cheeses, beef briskets, Italian subs, classic pastrami on rye bread or spicy pork banh mi. So, the next time the craving strikes, hit up these spots to indulge in some of the best sandwiches in America.

1. Pastrami at Katz’s Delicatessen in New York, NY.

Don’t we all feel like Meg Ryan in “When Harry Met Sally” when eating one of these babies? Perhaps the most classic sandwich in America, Katz’s juicy, sliced-to-order pastrami has been perfected over more than a century, since back in 1888 when the classic Lower East Side deli was founded. Slathered with mustard, perched on chewy rye and accompanied by sour pickles, this is a NYC must-eat. $19.95 . .

Perhaps. But also like the Italian beef from Chicago, horseshoe sandwiches from southern Illinois, burnt end sandwiches in Kansas City, catfish sandwiches from the south, pork tenderloin in Ohio, loose meat in Iowa, gyros from anywhere with a Greek population. They’re missing a lot of good eating, though the East and West Coast-types would probably turn their noses up at it.

Not to be provincial, but Primanti’s in Pittsburgh always makes these type lists, but instead they have a sandwich from San Fran that’s made “Pittsburgh style” which is a Primanti knockoff.

Culver’s makes some of the best fast-food fried chicken going. It beats the heck out of KFC, Browns, or Church’s, and comes within spitting distance from some of the fried chicken restaurants I know.

Add a slice of sweet onion and you're a close second to the one I mentioned. ☺

Mom’s baked beans and mayo on white bread. A guilty pleasure from childhood that Mom’s family ate growing up in the great depression.

YUM, yes HORSESHOES. Tried to get one last time we were in Danville, IL, but could not find one there.

Growing up (and occasionally still today), I enjoyed cheese and jelly. People thought I was making it up or trying to be gross...but that was my go to sandwich.

I have those every now and then although I use apple butter when I have it.

Have you tried cheese and pickle?

Rye bread (or pumpernickel) cheese, lettuce and Branston Pickle.

So good!

Doc took me off of carbs so I can have everything inside but not the bread. But it’s just not the same.

In NYC, $20 for a sandwich is almost normal. But the Katz $19.95 pastrami can easily be shared by two so it's a better deal if you bring somebody with you.

My favorite all-time sandwich is one I make myself at home:

Toast a Thomas's English muffin and smear both sides with a generous amount of real butter. Fry two eggs over easy and three thick slices of bacon. Add two thick slices of swiss cheese. Slap it all together and make sure you have some napkins nearby as the egg yolks will dribble all over your hands. But so good.

We had been making them at home for years before we knew anyone else had ever thought of it.
I was amazed when I ran across a place in Mississippi one time that had a grilled pimento cheese w/ bacon on the menu.
